How do I install Renewable Sponges?

Install the matching mod loader (Forge, Fabric or NeoForge) for your Minecraft version. Download the .jar. Put it in the .minecraft/mods folder and launch that loader profile. Opens on Modrinth — not every file is mirrored on our own servers.

What Minecraft version does Renewable Sponges work with?

The listing gives Minecraft 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2. This is the version stated by the author or source site, not something we verified ourselves.

Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Renewable sponges

A simple Minecraft mod that adds sponges to the fishing loot table.

The weight in the table is 12 (0.12 in the config) by default, but can be configured in the settings.

It is technically not needed client-side if you join a server with this mod.

By default, WET_SPONGE is added to the loot table, but it can be configured to SPONGE in the mod's configuration.

Currently, supported versions of Minecraft are ~1.16.1, ~1.19.2, 1.20.x, 1.21.x on Fabric and ~1.21.4 on Neoforge.

Other mods

Pairs well with my other mod Water Resistance Potion that adds a potion which defaults to using sponges as an ingredient.
